 bit of a stupid question, but how do you get to the freeride section? i went there not too long ago, only for a day tho and didnt know where to find it so only did the DH trail and the second half of the XC trail. where is the freeride bit?
cheers

 This photograph has been given loads of negative comments, it's a very good photograph overall and just because it isn't photoshopped!
Doesn't mean it's a bad photograph, it is well taken! It is very worthy of POD!
'SHOPPED photographs can look good but some effects can be acheived by simply manipulating the camera!

 This is such a beautiful POD. The sky with wisps of clouds is amazing, secondly the very old rock wall with a very new pipe tunnel is very cool contrasting new and modern construction, thirdly that very old tree stump makes the shot look rustic, most importantly the rider and his bike pop out from the rest of the shot because of there colors. Epic shot!
